As they descended the staircase, Clara caught sight of Grandpa Reed seated in his wheelchair and beaming at them. He was decked out in a striking suit. She approached with a chuckle, eyeing his getup. "We're just going to sign spapers, not walking down the aisle. Don't you think you're a bit overdressed, Grandpa Reed?" Reed's grin was wide as the Mississippi. "My little girl, you're tying the knot. Of course, I gotta put on the ritz! After you two make it official at city hall, we're heading over to your dad's to drop off the wedding gifts. I can't have you looking anything less than fabulous, now can I?" Clara turned to lan, utterly bewildered. "How did things move so fast?" lan raised an eyebrow with a sly grin. "Well, Grandma Rose and the clan heard wedding bells and couldn't sit still. They consulted with that old fortune teller, picked today as the 'perfect day for nuptials,' and here we are. We'll get the paperwork done, swing back, pick up Reed, and head over to your father's." Clara suddenly realized that this wedding required hardly any effort on her part. Everything was being taken care of for her. The sensation of being cherished and doted on wasn't half bad.

Clara's phone rang - it was Sasha. "Clara, did you and lan actually go through with it?" "Yep, just finished taking the picture, waiting to pick up the certificate now." "Chase said you guys planned to marry before the year's out. What's the rush? You're not pregnant, are you?" Clara laughed off the suggestion and filled Sasha in on Reed's condition.

Sasha sighed, "Grandpa Reed's illness has handed lan an advantage, but as long as you're sure, you've got my full support. And lettell you, I will be your maid of honor. No one's gonna fightfor it." "You've got it. I'll have the most beautiful maid of honor dress made just for you." "That's more like it."
